Thanks bry! Im actually really mega chilled out not really mulling just was getting so used to braxton hicks, pootractions etc but it's all gone! I'm always late. Several friends have pointed out if it's my baby I'll be late! Its like when I was the only girl at school not to have started her periods again (Was 16!)

How is everyone else? Baby brain really mashed now have we heard from mummytobe? On phone right now

I would go for a swim if you want to. Chances of anything happening in the short time you'll be in the pool are slim. Tummy bug could well have slowed things down. But try not to worry and overthink. Rest well, eat well, enjoy your last 2 days. You know it will beacon now whatever - and whenever it happens you'll need the energy!

Does anyone know - the mw at the hospital said a well engaged head would be having an effect on the cervix helping to release hormones etc which is why they encourage walking and sitting up right and bouncing etc. Its kind of why I thought give it a few more days till Monday. Is that right? I suppose it must be if she said it but I'd not heard that before!

Oh god baby was 3/5 at before 36 weeks even confirmed on scan, 1-2/5 at 40 and 1/5 at 41 but I know he'd been 1 quite a bit the week before. I know that's normal for first time mum's but still feels like its a bit too long! He's permanently been loa since about 32 weeks. I've never had much of an issue walking when he engaged and hips are the best they've ever been. It was a bit tricky at times yesterday when I needed a wee but weirdly it was the best I'd been able to keep to dhs pace for bloody ages! Feels like a Benjamin button pregnancy; I swear I had more signs things were ramping up 2 weeks ago than now.

I can't help wondering if the horrid gastric bug I had at 40 weeks sort of stopped things as messed up a load of hormones etc. Had lots of contraction type things as I recovered that week but it was from all the gut bruising and swelling and rehydrating as I retained water like a whale for a few days!
